Re: Subcompact owners, your thoughts on single clip IWB holsters
Thanks for all the comments. I will eventually own a ctac-mtac at some point, but for now, I think that High Noon Split Decision will be the way to go. The easy on easy off feature of the single clip I believe will work best for my carry to and from work, and when out and about on the weekends.

Re: Subcompact owners, your thoughts on single clip IWB holsters
The Split Decision looks like the direction I want to go. Plus being tuckable is good and not an option I have seen on these "clip" type holsters. (I should have looked a little harder - the first time I looked over the website, all I saw was $100+ items.) I think I prefer the clip instead of the belt loop that the Galco and others have.austinrealtor wrote:This is the one I have (two actually) that I wrote about in my first reply ... http://www.highnoonholsters.com/Product ... ision.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
IMHO, being tuckable is worth the extra $10.
As these types of holsters go, High Noon makes a good one. Just beware that these "in stock" holsters at this price are typically cowhide, not horsehide (not a big deal) AND do not have anything rigid sewn into the opening to hold it open - so one-handed reholstering is difficult. Their horsehide holsters come with a rigid metal or polymer insert, but at more than $100 not really worth it (IMHO) unless you plan to use a single-clip holster as your primary.
Another good one you can try is the Galco Summer Comfort and/or Royal Guard (same holster, I think, just made of different material and thus different price). These utilize a more robust leather belt loop system (other holster makes have this same design, Milt Sparks comes to mind, but Galco's are usually readily available.
How did you like the cant angle on the Split Decision?

Re: Subcompact owners, your thoughts on single clip IWB holsters
Yes, that was actually the one I had in mind when I started considering this type of holster. I also want to get a pocket holster like a Desantis Nemisis or Mika pocket holster as I see many opportunities to use a pocket holster frequently.mr surveyor wrote:I've been using a Don Hume 715, single clip, that I bought out of the used holster bin for $15 that nicely fit a KT PF9.... turned out it was made for a compact 1911, and fit my Kimber Compact perfectly, and now carries my Kahr cw9 perfectly. It's very easy in and out of the waistband, particularly nice for those occassions when you just have to disarm in the vehicle.

edit to add: the DH 715 is available for a pretty wide variety of handguns, I believe

Ended up getting this until I can afford (birthday is coming) a CompTac CTAC. Should come in tomorrow, I'll let you know how I like it.

Subcompact owners, your thoughts on single clip IWB holsters
Hi everyone, I have a Glock 26 I will be using for carry when I have plastic in hand. My original thought was to get an MTAC holster, but as I think about when I might carry - which is to and from work, and when running around with my family - I was thinking maybe a single clip leather rig might be a better solution for my type of use, as well as easy on/off. What's your experience with single clip holsters? Will they do the job for holstering a subcompact or should I just go with an MTAC?
